Molly-Mae Hague ‘couldn’t have picked a better man to father her child’ – says ex Tommy Fury after their split
TOMMY Fury insists ex Molly-Mae Hague couldn’t have picked a better man to father a child with.
The couple split in August after five years together amid reports Tommy cheated, but they have cordially co-parented daughter Bambi since.
Though Tommy, 25, has come under fire in the past for being absent in boxing camps and leaving Molly-Mae, 25, to look after Bambi, one, alone, he says he gives parenting his all.
He told the Mail: “We took the bull by the horns. I can honestly say, for two young parents, we are two great parents. I couldn’t have picked a better mother for Bambi.
“And I know Molly would say the same. She couldn’t have picked a better father for Bambi. We father and mother that baby like an egg in a shell.
“There is nothing more important. Being a father is the best thing I’ve ever done in my life. Ever. Having Bambi has changed my whole life.”
During his tell-all interview to promote his upcoming autobiography, Tommy denied cheating on Molly-Mae and vowed to win her back after their split in August.
Though he no longer lives with her in the £4m Cheshire mansion they used to share, Tommy still wears a promise ring from their relationship.
He says he knows what he needs to do to make things right and is confident Molly will eventually take him back.
The burly boxer said it was love at first sight when he saw Molly in the Love Island villa five years ago, describing her as the “woman of my dreams”.
Little seems to have changed, despite their troubled circumstances, as he says he will “love her until my dying breath”.
On Molly’s part, she has spoken of her heartache about the split in a vlog post.
She said: “It’s not something I want to go into.
“He is Bambi’s dad and I will always value him, and respect him and always have a lot of love for him.”
On fan expectations, she continued: “This is real life, it is not drama, it is not tea, it is not a publicity stunt – as much as I wish it was.
“This is real life and it’s very sad and it’s very deep and it just doesn’t feel right for me to come on here and talk about it.
“I think it’s important to deal with it privately, also out of respect to Tommy as well because it’s just not nice.
“I feel like everything over the last couple of weeks has really been a lot.
“It’s been blown way out of proportion. It’s all got a bit carried away with itself.
“The last thing I want to do is fuel that fire. The best way to deal with this is to move forward, look to the future.”
